"Don't be rude in front of His Majesty!" A close relative stood up and scolded.
But seeing Shuang Wuxue taking a step forward silently, he quickly stepped back.
"In the field of mechanism art, the effect of genius is equal to that of a hundred ordinary people, and the effect of inspiration is greater than half a lifetime of meditation. Maybe that girl is such a person who is favored by God." Gong Shuwang was very proud of himself. The disrespectful attitude didn't bother her at all, "But who said she is stronger than the two families combined? The Mo family can produce geniuses, but there are no public losers?"
"Do you have any way to deal with Jin Xia's maritime troops?" Ning Weiyuan asked subconsciously.
"It seems that you already know the news about Yazhou without us having to tell you." Shuang Wuxue glanced at the cronies beside him, "That's good, it saves me having to talk about it again."
The latter shivered immediately.
"As the king of a country, of course I am also worried about the situation of the territory. Is there any problem with this?" Ning Weiyuan said pretending to be tough.
If he gives in at this time, I'm afraid no one will be willing to work for him.
Moreover, he knew that Qixing's current foundation was far less solid than that of the Gyeonggi Privy Council, so the other party would not care too much about such matters.
"No, it's my fault that we didn't notify you as soon as possible." Sure enough, Shuang Wuxue put away her gaze and softened her tone a bit, "After all, the news came suddenly, and we had to do more confirmations to get the full picture of the incident."
"The things made by Mo Yun are indeed extraordinary, but they are not invulnerable." The old lady continued, "Take the artillery with an extremely long range as an example. It seems difficult to deal with because the frontline troops lack experience. If you disperse your stations in advance and dig deep pits to take shelter, you can greatly reduce the damage caused by the explosion."
"But I heard... there are public loser's machine beasts on the front line, but they are of no use at all and can only be beaten passively!" Ning Weiyuan emphasized.
"Yes, those are the works of the older generation. I thought I could catch the attacker by surprise, but I didn't expect that my opponent didn't even think about going ashore." Gong Shuwang did not deny this defeat, "It's a pity that Jinxia acted too late after all. A little while ago, a new batch of machine beasts from the Gongshu family have arrived in Shangyuan. With this new batch of weapons and equipment, the situation will no longer be as passive as before."
"New... weapons?" Ning Weiyuan's heart skipped a beat.
As a person who is on the march and fighting, it is inevitable that he will be interested in new guys who take advantage of him.
"Your Majesty, you want to take a look?" The old woman smiled slightly.
He was silent for a while and then said, "Can't I?"
Nine out of ten users of the machine beast are alchemists.
Once it comes to Qi Sensers, his name is not so easy to use.
"You have the final say." Gong Shuwang pointed at Yuyi with his stick.
The latter pondered for a long time, "Okay, it doesn't hurt to let His Majesty see it, and it will save you from being anxious all day long."
…
The group of people walked out of the palace and came to the original Privy Council Palace compound.
This place has been occupied by Qixing's troops. Not only have a camp been set up outside the courtyard wall, but the gatekeepers at the entrance and exit have also been replaced by warlocks from other countries.
After passing through several tightly guarded checkpoints, Ning Weiyuan followed Yu Yishi and others to a relatively empty square. He noticed that there were many wooden square boxes stacked here with the same length and width, each almost as big as a Suzhou elephant.
"Could it be that these boxes contain machine beasts?"
"That's right." Gong Shuwang nodded with his hands behind his back, "It's not easy to transport them to Qi State. If we take the land route, we may not be able to arrive next year."
When passing by a large wooden box, Ning Weiyuan suddenly heard a heavy gasp.
His expression couldn't help but change, and he subconsciously took a step back - wait, is this thing alive? Only then did he discover that the top of the box was not completely sealed, but purlins were used to hold up the cover, leaving a small gap from which the sound came.
"Don't worry, they will not cause harm to people before they are injected with souls." The old lady said.
Inject...soul? What does this mean
Ning Weiyuan frowned. The other party's explanation not only did not reassure him, but made him even more suspicious.
Are the mechanics already studying this invisible and intangible thing
Moreover, most of the spells involving souls in the past were chaotic forbidden spells. Why did Shuang Wuxue and others already know this
Probably seeing his confusion, Yuyi took the initiative and said, "It is different from chaos magic, because the soul that controls the machine beast does not come from unpredictable evil spirits, but from specially trained alchemists. You will wait for a moment You will understand naturally." At this point, he clapped his hands and motioned to the soldiers here to open the wooden box.
Soon, the machine beast sealed in the box showed its true form.
Ning Weiyuan felt a chill rising all over his body.
Is this thing really a machine creation
It has four legs and hands. If you ignore the hands, it looks like a deformed beast covered in armor. Its whole body is surrounded by silver-gray armor. It is a bit ugly, but it is still passable. But if you include the arms growing on the back, the situation is different.
What made him feel inexplicably repelled was the big hands - they were also made of iron armor, and their outlines were similar to the full body armor of the West Pole. Whether it was the length, the position of the elbows, or the clearly articulated fingers, they were all the same as an enlarged hand. Human hands are no different.
Coupled with the weird brass mask with a human face on the head, he always felt that it was a figure lying on the ground.
The Ministry of Industry has designed many mechanical products, some anthropomorphic and some animal-like, but none of them mix the two together, deliberately giving people a twisted and eerie feeling.
Is this a characteristic of public losers
"Start it." The old lady said to one of her tribesmen.
The latter opened the movable door behind the machine beast, leaned over and got into its body.
About half a quarter of an hour later, the machine beast slowly stood up from its prone position.
The whole process was very smooth, completely different from the mechanical objects Ning Weiyuan had seen in the past, as if it was not put together mechanically, but suddenly came to life.
"But what does this have to do with injecting souls?" He looked at the machine beast in front of him who was moving his wrists. "Besides, just with a pair of machine iron hands, there is no way to compete with the Jinxia Army's artillery."
"Don't worry, the fun is still to come." Gong Shuwang said calmly.
As soon as she finished speaking, several wooden boxes suddenly shook violently! I saw several machine beasts spreading their arms, crushing the wooden boxes and running straight towards the hall not far away. In just a few breaths, they climbed up the wall and stood at the top of the hall!
Ning Weiyuan was stunned.
No one has ever approached these mechanical beasts, which also means that they can act independently without human control!
Moreover, the agility and powerful explosive power displayed in this climb and jump completely subverted his understanding of machine creation. If it were on the battlefield, he could imagine what such a flexible "mobile fortress" meant with his eyes closed.
When troops equipped with this machine beast face conventional enemy forces, their impact is absolutely overwhelming.
